Our understanding of the physical mechanisms behind the formation of stars and galaxies has greatly improved over the last couple of decades but new technology in hardware and software will keep driving these endeavours further still. These new technologies will be...

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is the low-frequency SKA precursor being built at the radio-quiet Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO) in Western Australia and will be sensitive enough to pick up faint radio signals from the very early Universe. This era...

All galaxies in our Universe (ours included!) move with respect to each other in two ways. Firstly, as has been known for over a century now, the Universe is expanding, moving distant galaxies away from each other. On top of this, galaxies move toward and around...

Professor Steven Tingay named WA Science Ambassador of the Year Science and Innovation Minister John Day congratulated Professor Tingay, as well as the five other award recipients and the 2012 Western Australian Science Hall of Fame Inductee, all of whom were honoured...

With the world awaiting construction of the ultimate radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the concept of interferometry has found unprecedented attention. In short, we can achieve a similar sensitivity, resolution, and collecting area as that of a much...
